Guatemala Visit Visa

Guatemala Visa Application Process

If your country is not on this list of exemptions for a Guatemala visa, you can still enjoy a Central American adventure by applying for a tourist visa at your nearest embassy or consulate. There are just 4 main steps to follow.

1. Make an appointment at the relevant consulate

To find the embassy closest to you, check out our helpful Embassy Finder Tool. It’s a good idea to contact the embassy early, as some nationalities may require a previous consultation or interview.

When you speak to the consular section, they can give you an idea of whether an interview will be necessary as well as the Guatemala visa interview timeline.

2. Fill in the application form

Once you’ve booked your appointment, you’ll need to gather the supporting documents (more details on these below) and fill out the application form. This form can be found on the embassy’s webpage or will be emailed to you when you contact the consular section.

3. Drop off your documents at the embassy

The day of your appointment, bring all your documents, along with copies, to the embassy. If there’s no embassy representation in your country of residence, then you can ask the nearest embassy in a neighbouring country for details on how to send your application by mail. Usually this involves sending a package with a tracking number along with a pre-paid return envelope.

In some cases, you may be asked to conduct an interview. This is simply to judge whether there’s a risk that you’ll overstay the time allotted in your travel authorisation. Help convince your interviewer by showing strong ties to your country of residence. This can be supported with Certificates of Employment (CoEs), proof of university enrollment, bank statements, etc.

4. Receive your approved visa

Following your appointment, your application will be reviewed by the consulate and you will be informed about the outcome. Be sure to check your email regularly, as this is the main method of communication for most embassies.
